@Rubini:

I have uploaded a revised patch-kit, adding the omitted files originally made by H.sie (Camerabehaviour.act, SH3Sim.act, EnvSim.act (for the weather) ).

Just download from the same link as before:

The new patch-kit has date 23 March 2011. Discard any previous patch-kit.

@Hitman:
These are good points you have made. Like you, I feel that U-boat should be able to outrun corvettes on the surface in poor weather; arguably, the U-boat should even outrun destroyers in storms (according to KL Fehler, U 234.)

It's rather difficult to know what to search for in the original SH3 code, though. (We need to find a valid entry point to alter existing code, but sea-keeping is a broad concept.)

Perhaps the general solution would be to lower the speed of ALL Allied ships when the weather is bad. I have noticed that convoys sailing at '7 kts' always maintain that speed regardless of the weather, while the U-boat is affected by the weather. Something to consider when H.sie returns to modding.

The turning circle of the U-boat ought to be easier to fix. Once we have found the code!

Stiebler.
